(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Airborne measurements have been made in the smokes from large fires of standing coniferous trees and logging debris, standing chaparral, fallen jack pine, and wheat stubble. Panicle emission factors, particle size distributions, optical properties of the smokes, and trace gas…

Measurements in the plumes from seven forest fires show that the concentrations of NH3 were considerably in excess of ambient values. Calculation of NH3 emissions from the fires, based on the ratio of NH3/CO in the plumes and emissions of CO from biomass burning, suggest that…

[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002(https://www.frames.gov/rcs/18000/18093.html)] Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is an economically important Canadian tree species and its autecology is inextricably linked to fire. It would disappear as a natural component of the boreal…

Fire links the biosphere and the atmosphere. The linkage is, as yet, poorly quantified. Evidence suggests that a few percent of total C fixed by photosynthesis is oxidized by burning. Biomass burning seems to be globally significant in terms of associated: • Releases of trace…
